This Talking Point Card explains stereotype threat and how it is triggered, shares examples of effects from stereotype threat, and suggests ways to create a stereotype threat-free environment for attracting able and diverse students to computing.

It is a companion piece to the slide deck Stereotypes and Stereotype Threat Affect Computing Students (www.ncwit.org/stereotypethreatslides). You can hand this card to your colleagues and then share the slides at a faculty meeting.
